at a certain juncture
in a female's life
the menopause makes
a deal of strife

those of us who are
in our middle years
have days when we
perspire and shed the odd tear

ladies have not the best of it
at this particular time
the hormone levels dive
and are in steep decline

ladies schedule a visit
to your family GP
and obtain a prescription
for some hormone therapy

the turn around in your well being
will be a welcome sight
as you kiss the menopause blues
a fond goodnight
